Charges Against Sarah Loy Dropped -- Breaking News

Shari Worthington of the Massachusetts Family Institute On Friday Officially Drops Her Criminal Complaint Against Marriage Equality Supporter Sarah Loy

KnowThyNeighbor received a telephone call from former Catholic Citizenship Director Larry Cirignano, last evening to tell me that late Friday afternoon, Shari Worthington officially pulled the papers ending her criminal complaint which accused Sarah Loy of "Disturbing a Lawful Assembly."   By Cirignano's account, Worthington did this as an act of good grace on her way to bringing her teenage daughter to Children's Hospital for a serious back problem.

Cirignano as you will remember was recently aquitted by jury on charges of assault and battery against Sarah Loy which allegedly occurred at the Massachusetts Family Institute "Rally For Democracy" last December in Worcester.  Cirignano was also charged with a "Civil Rights Violation" as Loy was carrying a marriage equality sign at the rally, but that charge was dropped at the beginning of the trial this month.

Larry Cirignano called me in hopes that I would be able to contact Sarah Loy and tell her that not only were the charges dropped, but that in his words, "It's over, and it is time to move on."

There will be a time for healing in Massachusetts, but it is not for me to suggest to you that this is the time.  The LGBT Community went through too much at the hands of The Catholic Church, The Massachusetts Family Institute, Vote On Marriage and MassResistance for us to "forgive and forget" in such a blind way.  Even Shari Worthington's criminal complaint against Sarah Loy, in my opinion, speaks more to intimidation and her recent "retraction of charges" to political and social opportunism than Christian Altruism.  I will leave it up to Sarah Loy to forgive and forget if she chooses.

Larry Cirignano called me a second time last night to ask me for another favor.  That was to include (in my blog or prayer circle ??!!) a prayer for Shari Worthington's kindness and her daughter's back problem...but if I prayed to ask my God for anything which I don't, as I personally find it disingenuous to ask God "for" things, but if I did, one thing I would ask for is that Larry and people like him "get a grip on reality."

They should throw the book at her for making a farce out of "civil right" violations. She is lucky the Catholics are so forgiving.

Larry Cirignano Triumphs Over ACLU Bullying and Phony Charges
by Jay @ 5:25 pm. Filed under ACLU, 1st Amendment, News and John Hosty /Tom Lang are assholes

In a nutshell, here is what happened. VoteOnMarriage.org had scheduled a pro-marriage rally for Saturday, December 16, 2006 in front of Worcester City Hall. The organization had all the proper permits to do so. However, homosexual activists, including Board Member of the ACLU Sarah Loy, decided that free speech is only a one-way street, and came to stop them. When the homosexual activists showed up to disrupt without any proper permits, the police told them that they had to leave that area, and could demonstrate on the nearby sidewalk. The activists later pushed their way back into the center of the crowd where they continued to heckle the crowd. After what the jury found to be her tripping and falling, Sarah Loy decided to make up phony charges and accuse Larry Cirignano of pushing her down following it up with a civil rights suit.

His name is Paul. Get to know him.

Yes, he's for real, if you can believe it.

"If it doesn't fit - you cannot aquit"

Listen 'shit for brains' - the phrase used by the late J. Cochran was:

If the glove doesn't fit - you must acquit.

Just so we're all on the same page. And your ignorance of all things is blatant.

[sean]

if she slipped, you must acquit
